World War III will start with Pentagon bombing of RT – Kusturica

Award-winning Serbian director and musician Emir Kusturica believes that when Washington eventually starts World War III, RT will become one of its first and primary targets, being an extremely powerful weapon challenging US state propaganda.

In an article published
by the Serbian daily Politika, Kusturica has aligned RT with
Russia’s most powerful weapons, specifically the SS-18, an
intercontinental ballistic missile which NATO is calling
“Satan”:“The devil never comes alone! At the same
time with this rocket and numerous other innovations, the TV
Channel RT has also appeared among the Russian
arsenal.”

The RT network, Kusturica says, is destroying the
“Hollywood-CNN stereotype of the good and bad guys, where
blacks, Hispanics, Russians, Serbs are the villains, and white
Americans, wherever you look, are OK!”

“[US Secretary of State] Kerry and the congressmen are
bothered by the fact that RT sends signals that the world is not
determined by the inevitability of liberal capitalism, that the
US is leading the world into chaos, that Monsanto is not
producing healthy food, that Coca-Cola is ideal for cleaning
automobile alloys and [is] not for the human stomach, that in
Serbia the percentage of people who die from cancer has risen
sharply due to the 1999 NATO bombings ... that the fingerprints
of the CIA are on the Ukrainian crisis, and that Blackwater fired
at the Ukrainian police, and not Maidan activists,” the
filmmaker wrote.

Most of what Kusturica mentions in the article, indeed, are
topics RT covers extensively... except maybe Coca-Cola’s cleaning
properties.

RT is a real threat to US state propaganda as it reaches
Americans “in their own homes, in perfect English, better
than they use on CNN.” And that is why, according to the
director, Washington could get fed up and seek to silence RT by
force – much like NATO did to Serbian state TV in April 1999.

In turn, Kusturica predicts, Moscow would destroy CNN, which he
considers the flag-bearer of pro-American propaganda: “CNN in
direct transmissions assures that since the 1990s America has
been leading humanitarian actions, and not wars, and that its
military planes rain angels, not bombs!”

Until the Pentagon resorts to force, Kusturica believes, “RT
will ever more demystify the American Dream and in primetime will
reveal the truth hidden for decades from the eyes and hearts of
average Americans.”

Born in what is today Bosnia-Herzegovina, Emir Kusturica is a
60-year-old Serbian filmmaker, actor and musician. He has won
numerous international awards for his films, and was appointed
Serbia’s ambassador to UNICEF in 2007.
